Umm... No - in every reference. It is particular reference that defines "New
version" action.
Example:
I have a topic. You have an explanation that I included. I decide what I
want to happen when you create new version.

A reference in this case is pointing to your version of the explanation. In my version, I define that flag to decide what to do when the new version of your object is created.
That just makes more sense to me.
